Top Gary Payton II News

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Scores 15 points in start

    Payton notched 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 104-101 loss to the Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

    Payton drew his first start of the playoffs and played well across 23 minutes, his most since suffering an injury in Game 2 of the opening-round series versus Sacramento. The defensive-minded guard was left open numerous times and took advantage by collecting a playoff-high 15 points, but it's unclear if the Warriors will stick with the same game plan, as they face a 3-1 hole with the series shifting back to Golden State.

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Expected to enter starting lineup

    Payton will join the starting lineup for Monday's Game 5 against the Lakers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    The Warriors had already hinted that Payton would see more playing time in Game 5 after he struggled with an illness throughout Game 4, and this report only solidifies that the Oregon State product will shoulder more minutes. He's seen inconsistent playing time through the first three games of the series, averaging 11.3 minutes to go along with 5.7 points and 3.7 rebounds.

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Should play more in Game 5

    Head coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Payton (illness) wasn't himself in Game 4, but he expects the defensive-minded guard to play more in Game 5, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    After posting 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.5 minutes over the first two matchups of the opening-round series, Payton missed Game 3 due to an illness and saw just seven minutes in Game 4. His defensive prowess makes him one of Golden State's best options on De'Aaron Fox, who's expected to play Wednesday despite a broken index finger on his shooting hand, so Payton's health and effectiveness should be a major storyline during the critical Game 5.

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Cleared to suit up Sunday

    Payton (illness) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Kings, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    As expected, Payton has been upgraded from probable to available and will play in Game 4 after an aliment kept him sidelined for Game 3. Through the first two matchups of the opening-round series, the defensive-minded guard averaged 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 assists in 23.5 minutes per game.

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Upgraded to probable

    Payton (illness) has been upgraded to probable ahead of Sunday's Game 4 against the Kings, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

    The fact that Payton has been upgraded to probable means he shouldn't have problems playing off the bench Sunday. He has averaged 10.5 points across 23.5 minutes per game in his two appearances during the series.

  • Warriors' Gary Payton: Returns to practice

    Payton (illness) participated in Saturday's practice and is on track to play in Game 4 against the Kings on Sunday, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Payton missed Game 3 due to an illness but appears likely to suit up Sunday. If Payton is cleared for action, his return will likely result in decreased playing time for Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Lamb.
